Tennis Forehand Strategy Practice Session with coach Vincent for 9+ UTR 

Great video! I found you channel looking information about the VCP 97. And i watch all the other content...very nice. But this was my favourite, wacthing the drills while you describe your goals, great stuff! Thanks, very helpfull!

So solid!!! Love this kind of video!!! High quality stuff 👍

Your backhand is a missile. I'm loving it!

I learned alot from this one video. Keep theme coming!!!

Hey Andrey, not much to say except keep these types of videos coming!

@Andrey Smirnov - Your form is top notch. Keep it up!

Great tennis. Looking great.

Fun video to watch. I’m an ex D1 player living in the PNW also. Took a long break from tennis after college and recently in last year started playing a little bit again. Like you I have been playing with a local D1 recruit. Having not played for 11 years after college it’s my fitness and returns that have been the hardest to find. Keep up posting the great content it’s fun to see some other guys out there local.

Great stuff, I'm also working on that 'elbow' /w my eastern grip. Need to use more footwork to get in position for more topspin than flat... my friend's western forehand cheats :p

I really like your serve from previous videos. Any chance you can post a slowmo from a few angles?

Great video! Random question can you ask the guy using the hyper g strings and strike what string tension he uses?

Missed your content man! Hoping to learn some things from you to make my game better as well 💪🏽

I wish I can find coaches like this in CA bay area to practice with good players too.

keep the videos coming. fitness and intensity will be huge for getting that success in the futures level. IMO you need to move into the court more often instead of staying back and sort of waiting and reacting. really look to move forward and dictate with your footwork.

Can you make a similar video but for Backhands? I have a major issue with my backhand. During practice, I can "feel" myself hitting the backhand well and consistent. But during a match, I lose the feeling and it causes me to resort to only hitting slices on the backhand side because I can't "feel" the topspin shot. Two handed backhand like yours. How can I fix this?

Awesome! What does it mean to put shape on the ball?

Love the content! Could you plz provide Vincents contact info. My son (17) is new to Seattle tennis and looking for higher level training. Thx!

+Andrey Smirnov Hey never seen you mention it anywhere just curious what grip you like to use on your racquet?

Hey I recently moved to the Seattle area! I've been trying to find clubs / teams to join, but havent had much luck. Any recommendations?

i live in seattle to where are those courts?

You could pause the video for a second if you are explaining some particular shot. Much easier to follow. :) Also in some parts the video's audio and your added commentary got a little bit mixed up and it was hard to follow. Great video though, will try these exercises!

Did you make the switch to the 2021 version of the Pro 97?

I mean, truly as long as you have high enough tension on your racket, the racket angle and speed forward is what puts spin on the ball. For that you need a forward lag. And I wouldn't use a wrist lag, it is an arm lag that includes your wrist. The idea that you put spin on the ball by shaping your racket is false. You can do it for not so common occasions -- the ball is low or high, out of your strike zone, but that's it. In strike zone, swing through at the right angle with proper acceleration and you have a SUPER paced ball with tons of spin.

Dumb question but do you pay Coach Vincent for these practice sessions or do you guys know each other on a social level and he's helping you in his free time?

what strings and tension do you use?

Seems like you’re deliberately finishing your forehand with elbow pointing up and forward like Thiem.
